The cost of pavement maintenance keeps escalating upward as refining crude oil technology increases, a shortage of raw materials rises, and mining permits are harder to obtain. As a result, both private and public property owners and homeowners' associations will be spending more on pavement maintenance than ever before. Thomas and Patrick McDonald rely on nearly sixty years of experience in pavement construction and maintenance as well as years of research as they share practical tools and tips that will help anyone manage a successful pavement maintenance project. Through the included charts that will help determine maintenance strategies, the McDonalds guide others on how to: - Identify and repair distresses in asphalt pavement - Develop the proper scope of work, specifications, bids, and contract documents - Estimate repair costs, manage the project, and monitor job site materials - Evaluate the return on investment for repairs Designed specifically to aid in any asphalt projects for commercial properties, shopping centers, industrial properties, apartment buildings, and homeowners' associations or master communities, the Guide to Pavement Maintenance provides step-by-step leadership for anyone ready to tackle a pavement maintenance project.
This collection of 33 papers deals with mechanical behaviors associated with systems ranging from diamond reinforced silicon carbide to rare earth pyrosilicates. Presented at The Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics & Composites Symposium in January 2012 during the 36th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC), it offers researchers from around the world the opportunity to explore new and emerging issues in all aspects of the field.
The first book since 1974 written by a steelmaking end user and refractory engineer Why do you pick the refractory you do? How do you choose? Where do you start the selection process? The answers to these questions must always take into account the balance of competing interests among operations, purchasing, and the suppliers. Refractory Material Selection forSteelmaking is the ultimate guide to finding ideal answers to these questions. By following the step-by-step instructions—paired with detailed explanations and full-color diagrams—readers will be able to critically select the materials that are most appropriate for them. This book considers: The goals of refractory selection What causes refractories to wear out The properties of refractories and their raw materials Specific refractory applications Key strategies used to procure refractories Tom Vert's 25 years of experience in steelmaking combined with a ceramic engineering background provide comprehensive information that will benefit anyone working with refractories in steelmaking or any other industry.
This textbook provides fundamental understanding on technological aspects related to arc welding, heat flow, relevant metallurgical transformations, and quality assurance methodologies joints. It has been composed keeping in purview the requirements of those interested in research and development in the field of metal joining. The contents focus on the fundamentals of physics of welded joints, arc welding processes, brazing and soldering, heat flow in welding, welding metallurgy, design of welded joints, and inspection and testing of welded joints and weldability of metals. This book will be useful to both academics and those in the industry.
With active geysers coating its surface with dazzlingly bright ice crystals, Saturn’s large moon Enceladus is one of the most enigmatic worlds in our solar system. Underlying this activity are numerous further discoveries by the Cassini spacecraft, tantalizing us with evidence that Enceladus harbors a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Enceladus is thus newly realized as a forefront candidate among potentially habitable ocean worlds in our own solar system, although it is only one of a family of icy moons orbiting the giant ringed planet, each with its own story. As a new volume in the Space Science Series, Enceladus and the Icy Moons of Saturn brings together nearly eighty of the world’s top experts writing more than twenty chapters to set the foundation for what we currently understand, while building the framework for the highest-priority questions to be addressed through ongoing spacecraft exploration. Topics include the physics and processes driving the geologic and geophysical phenomena of icy worlds, including, but not limited to, ring-moon interactions, interior melting due to tidal heating, ejection and reaccretion of vapor and particulates, ice tectonics, and cryovolcanism. By contextualizing each topic within the profusion of puzzles beckoning from among Saturn’s many dozen moons, Enceladus and the Icy Moons of Saturn synthesizes planetary processes on a broad scale to inform and propel both seasoned researchers and students toward achieving new advances in the coming decade and beyond.
The Trends conference attracts the world's leading welding researchers. Topics covered in this volume include friction stir welding, sensing, control and automation, microstructure and properties, welding processes, procedures and consumables, weldability, modeling, phase transformations, residual stress and distortion, physical processes in welding, and properties and structural integrity of weldments.
